Boris Becker sends ominous caution to Coco Gauff ahead of Australian Open third round tie

“Naomi Osaka is great. [Bianca] Andreescu is great. I think Coco, tennis-wise, isn’t as good as these players yet.

“We should be careful of over-talking and over-hyping a 15-year-old American who has won a few matches.

“I think she is an exceptional talent. She will be there in the future.

“But we have got to give her the time to mature and develop in a natural way, otherwise by 22 she is burned out.

“There are many examples of young, successful female players that have pushed themselves too hard at an early age and then fizzled out at the end.”
